I am running MS Windows 2000 and have attempted to "convert" the supplied VB6.0 examples to VB.net using the VS.net supplied wizard. There are no apparent problems during the conversion. However, in VB.net, I cannot locate (or read or set) the IC Imaging Control's device property.

The same sequence works fine under VB6.0 (device property can be located and set in Properties window.

What gives here?

Is the this control compatible / usable with VS.net?

I am particularly interested in using it with C# in VS.net.

Thank you

The IC Imaging Control ActiveX is usable with limitations in Visual Basic .NET.
The property browser of Visual Basic.NET can not display and set all properties of IC Imaging Control. This results in setting the properties in the program code.
Another limitation is, that the method GetImageData() will not work correctly. A workaround is not available at this moment.
The Visual Basic examples of IC Imaging Control can not be used in Visual Basic .NET, because Visual Basic .NET has other event handling and other language elements.
It is possible to display the live video image, save frames to harddisk and capture avi files with IC Imaging Control ActiveX using Visual Basic .NET.
We are still working on an .NET compatible ActiveX Control.
